We love you. We love your pets.
But when you stroll in 15 minutes late and ask if you can still be seen… our techs start politely losing their minds in the background. 😅📦💥

Shoutout to our reception team for smiling through the chaos, to our techs for silently recalculating their entire evenings, and to our clients for being patient with us when the schedule goes sideways.

We’ll always do our best to help — but showing up on time really does help us help YOU (and keeps us from throwing boxes). 💙🐾

Double dachshund puppy exam = double the sweetness. 💙🐾

Paisley was so focused on licking cheese that she barely noticed her vaccines — we gave her a poke, and she gave us kisses in return.

Dodger was calm, cool, & collected for his skin scraping and immediately leaned into Kimmy for comfort when it was over, eventually trying to tuck himself right into her scrub top.

Adorable from start to finish… easily one of our favorite exams of the day. 💙✨

Just in case you missed all these sweet faces in our stories this week… 🥰🥰🥰

Hannah was home sick from school today… so naturally she recovered with the help of a baby bunny and a kitten. 💕🐰🐱 Just another day in the Pascetta household — and a reminder that there’s no better medicine than a little animal love. 💙

Last night, the SOAH team had the privilege of attending SOUP CAN Magazine’s 3rd annual
Holiday Food Drive Concert at The Union Market & Gallery in support of The Nook Ocean County NJ food pantry — run solely by a lovely local Mystic Island resident. The poets and artists in attendance were phenomenal. We had a packed house and the amount of food donated was just unbelievable — a huge round of applause to everyone who made this night possible! You really showed up for your community. 💙💙

We wanted to extend a sincere THANK YOU to those of you that dropped non-perishable food items off at the hospital in the weeks leading up to this event. The goal was to collect 500 lbs of food. Because of your generosity, we were able to contribute 115 lbs! We feel really proud and lucky to be a part of this community & be a part something so heart warming. Sending love to you all. 💙💙
